E-7 project enters risk-reduction agreement over conversions

摘要

Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group and Boeing have signed a risk-reduction-phase contract linked to the former's modification of five 737NGs for the UK Royal Air Force's (RAF's) E-7 airborne early warning and control system aircraft acquisition. "Marshall is key to the conversion and delivery of the new fleet, and this contract will ensure it is fully prepared to begin the modification process in Cambridge early in 2021," the company says. "The subsequent programme of work is being discussed between the companies," it adds.
